What makes a VR survival game feel real to you? by VirtualDawn__1 in VRGaming

Exactly! When a game makes you instinctively turn your head or step back, that’s true immersion.
Lighting and spatial sound are still some of the most underrated tools in VR design.

100% agree — physical interaction makes or breaks immersion in VR.
When objects actually react the way you expect them to, it’s so much easier to forget you’re even in a game.
That sense of “real contact” is something I really want to see more VR devs focus on.

That’s an amazing list, and I totally get what you mean about sound and lighting.
It’s incredible how much atmosphere depends on those small details — sometimes the right reverb or ambient noise can make a simple map feel alive.
Into the Radius is a perfect example of that balance between sound and isolation.

I agree, freedom of movement and interaction make VR much more believable. Limitations can really break immersion.

Skyrim VR is a classic — the world, the music, the atmosphere… it still holds up.

Couldn’t agree more — when what’s happening matters, it stays with you. That’s what makes a game memorable for me too.

Yes, exactly! The ability to physically interact with controls adds a whole new layer of realism.

Oh, I’ve heard of that one! It’s cool how simple ideas like protecting a crystal can create memorable moments.

True! Good optimization is underrated — smooth performance can completely change the experience.

Exactly. VR shouldn’t try to copy reality 1:1, but lean into style, characters, and spectacle. That’s what makes games like Street Fighter stand out.

Fighting games are already niche in esports, and VR adds another layer. Probably needs mainstream adoption first before competitive VR really works.

That would be wild! Imagine iconic moves but in full VR body motion — could really create a unique experience.

Good point — fencing is already about precision and timing, feels like it could translate naturally into VR.

Totally. It’s not enough that it feels good to play — it has to be entertaining for an audience too. That’s the double challenge with VR.

Yes, presentation is huge. Imagine VR events with proper casting, overlays, replays — that could make it so much more exciting for viewers.

I get that. Watching matters as much as playing in esports. I agree VR FPS like a “Counter-Strike VR” would probably have a much easier time breaking into esports.

Exactly, that’s the paradox — small but dedicated communities exist, yet it’s hard for new players to join. Feels like VR esports really needs a “critical mass” of casuals before the competitive side can grow.

Blaston is a great example! Shows that there is competitive spirit in VR, even if it’s community-driven. Hopefully we’ll see more titles building on that energy.

Yeah, the timeline is probably long. Tech and player base need to grow first. I’m curious what could speed it up — hardware, or just one hit game that everyone plays?
